After telling the rest of the Toxins about the news of Zoey's disappearance, they were now all wide awake and quite frantic. Christine even went ahead to retrieve her phone from her room to try and call Zoey. Mike muttered about how he was going to give Zoey an earful when she got back to the hotel. Daniel, just like me, didn't say much, but the look on his face said it all. He was worried.185Please respect copyright.PENANAux8yIidFLG
185Please respect copyright.PENANARDUjSdqiMx
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.185Please respect copyright.PENANARx5eCK3k6o
185Please respect copyright.PENANAOP4Jgpo3qT
"All the more reason to find her," said Lee. She had her phone in hand. I wondered if she was also trying to call Zoey.185Please respect copyright.PENANAbmkv8w8OMP
185Please respect copyright.PENANANs8qMq7tDm
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."185Please respect copyright.PENANAonWmvhSGVm
185Please respect copyright.PENANAFb35XWuCLv
"He'll be furious," I said. "The question is where she could have gone. Seoul is a big city, and she isn't familiar with the place."185Please respect copyright.PENANAUiKUoj9kJd
185Please respect copyright.PENANAJM7Q6O3UoU
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."185Please respect copyright.PENANA4N7GT6qChc
185Please respect copyright.PENANARaUavP4ek4
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAmGniE21INU
185Please respect copyright.PENANApwv78dz26V
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.185Please respect copyright.PENANA4g4QMiMqUF
185Please respect copyright.PENANA2zuUzjlbyF
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?185Please respect copyright.PENANArdCfXldg6t
185Please respect copyright.PENANAmSBukBaTQ6
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.185Please respect copyright.PENANAylA1qPbJ7W
185Please respect copyright.PENANAfwjmu3eKrP
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."185Please respect copyright.PENANAAG4ZKDWs7W
185Please respect copyright.PENANA27FbgMFWwq
"If we were back home, tracking her phone wouldn't be a problem with the connections I have," said Lee. "But we're on different territory, and we might just track unwanted attention."185Please respect copyright.PENANA2SBBKeIUnh
185Please respect copyright.PENANAO0Ho7aUBqe
"Well, we just have to stick to the basics, then," I said. I turned to Christine. "Call G-Dragon. If we find Johnny, we might find Zoey."185Please respect copyright.PENANAfFfhQEEgmU
185Please respect copyright.PENANAUphW1QLxl8
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.185Please respect copyright.PENANAW9LzSZcZW6
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxo9h4rzbRZ
The rest of us waited in silence as we all stood, hoping for G-Dragon to answer. Finally, he did. Christine put the phone on loudspeaker for everyone to hear.185Please respect copyright.PENANAOnH2wEM1Ah
185Please respect copyright.PENANAvxyARWvQrN
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."185Please respect copyright.PENANALtFyInuUOJ
185Please respect copyright.PENANAHxJcqMq0GI
"No, this is the only time I've called," said Christine. "I called to ask you something. Do you know where Johnny is? Is he with you by any chance?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAmol8iNxXed
185Please respect copyright.PENANAOEclIzwLTD
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."185Please respect copyright.PENANAlkZfqFR4Fy
185Please respect copyright.PENANADLQSV0zOLA
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3qznj1v0e
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxg93DsUTUD
"Not really. All I know is that he stays at some hotel not very far from my place. Hey, why are you asking about him? Is it about what happened this afternoon? You do know he didn't cut the power, right?"185Please respect copyright.PENANA6GTcDHZbMF
185Please respect copyright.PENANAsx5VLvVSCH
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."185Please respect copyright.PENANAKNVChizNqR
185Please respect copyright.PENANASIlpnrL3ot
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."185Please respect copyright.PENANAucb0xbgAaz
185Please respect copyright.PENANAhPKMx9lvMZ
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."185Please respect copyright.PENANA3TUfvYSnHn
185Please respect copyright.PENANA6ta6EhUGGO
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAPgb9LYUtwv
185Please respect copyright.PENANA5qiQhVVcRs
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."185Please respect copyright.PENANAVCNNcS5Sol
185Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ6Sqr3cp1
"No, tell me. What's going on?"185Please respect copyright.PENANARSNwc6skD7
185Please respect copyright.PENANALJ6RKpfbjJ
The rest of us, who were quite like mice, turned to Christine. Lee shook her head, telling her not to tell him about Zoey. Christine looked like she was about to break into a sweat. If there's one thing she's not really good at, it's telling a genuine lie at gunpoint.185Please respect copyright.PENANAGDUsSiAtyB
185Please respect copyright.PENANAyQuzfAASse
"Oh, uh... Zoey here was being paranoid earlier, thinking that Johnny might come for us here like he did at the YG building," Christine lied nervously. "But we tried convincing her that it couldn't happen and that he was far away from us. Plus, we have guards, so he can't go past them."185Please respect copyright.PENANA2sxZXMkA3U
185Please respect copyright.PENANA1deRS4wHNi
G-Dragon was silent for a minute, and we thought he hadn't bought it until he started to chuckle. Phew! That was a close one.185Please respect copyright.PENANABSED4kcdNU
185Please respect copyright.PENANA1QkxVTuI35
"Zoey really is a drama queen," he said. "Tell her that if it makes her feel better, I can come over and she can scratch my face off."185Please respect copyright.PENANAjmK6JEhCJM
185Please respect copyright.PENANAHP8MgNe4mq
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.185Please respect copyright.PENANA8P7kC0holC
185Please respect copyright.PENANAAHu7VaUY8i
"Oh, no. I'm beat for the day. Plus, I need to rest up. There's something I want to work on later. Tell everyone I said hi. As for Zoey, tell her to get a chill pill."185Please respect copyright.PENANABfRbgk9Tkr
185Please respect copyright.PENANAnxTfeodRGM
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."185Please respect copyright.PENANA8MsCiKeP39
185Please respect copyright.PENANAbXwDfjCuZR
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."185Please respect copyright.PENANAqifP1xN7XJ
185Please respect copyright.PENANAQyD5GMMI4v
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.185Please respect copyright.PENANAN1vZCquPoF
185Please respect copyright.PENANABEk5ArqSYd
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.185Please respect copyright.PENANAG0skRhBymK
185Please respect copyright.PENANAXEkR4uskPw
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."185Please respect copyright.PENANAqNUDl0rlII
185Please respect copyright.PENANAPRwtteDIi9
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.185Please respect copyright.PENANAqMjvIecp4f
185Please respect copyright.PENANAD3TdLJX77P
"Enough," I said as I threw Lee and Christine a look. They looked like they were going to burst into laughter. "Think. Zoey went out to look for Johnny, but where could she have gone? She couldn't have left without knowing where he was."185Please respect copyright.PENANAYVdGsnIMDw
185Please respect copyright.PENANA7umSH7n9P8
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."185Please respect copyright.PENANAo0dME5InX0
185Please respect copyright.PENANAMeAV3DH17j
My mind clicked, and I soon snapped my fingers. "Social media. She must have seen something there." I turn to Christine, who already has her phone in her hand. "Check Johnny's Instagram account. We might find something there."185Please respect copyright.PENANArLI3moyAYD
185Please respect copyright.PENANA8rbAZIKIjp
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."185Please respect copyright.PENANAku0BuJEP7O
185Please respect copyright.PENANA7AKS9hVDuc
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAkE5Fao7LLi
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxDmbQviTo7
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."185Please respect copyright.PENANACMJtHNKHEv
185Please respect copyright.PENANALoQTwAxSAt
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.185Please respect copyright.PENANALLVgNxwhoe
185Please respect copyright.PENANAgKQex3XDBk
"Not really," said Mike as he scrolled through Johnny's feed. "Usually the places he posts about have pictures with him in them. His recent post shows a map of where he is going to be for the night."185Please respect copyright.PENANAlE262aDRyv
185Please respect copyright.PENANAGE72JEYsMW
"Could this be a trap?" I asked without much thought. "It's strange that he could post where he is going to be. Could he have known that one of us might take the bait?"185Please respect copyright.PENANA3kOO8TVWUS
185Please respect copyright.PENANAaRkH8DkRgS
"Considering how mad Zoey still is about what happened earlier and how dense she could be, then yes," Mike answered with a nod of his head. "She's taken the bait. That's if it was really his plan from the very beginning."185Please respect copyright.PENANA1mvpK5dVVK
185Please respect copyright.PENANAgcSkCOxcPb
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.185Please respect copyright.PENANARG6wb6sVMF
185Please respect copyright.PENANAFRHjcWXstl
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.185Please respect copyright.PENANA8evF7hApz7
185Please respect copyright.PENANAYfxOdSWE5t
"It looks like we have to go there," said Christine as she took her phone from Mike. "But what are we going to do when Collins shows up?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAC8TWtLXEB0
185Please respect copyright.PENANApvP4Zr6RiC
No sooner had Christine said those words did we hear the sound of the elevator reaching our floor. We all looked at each other, horrified. He's already here.185Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ5vi8WQ9M
185Please respect copyright.PENANAHKPoyFTBHg
"Tell him that you guys plan to go out for the night to relax your mind after a long day," said Lee. We could hear footsteps coming in the hall. "He'll believe you."185Please respect copyright.PENANAdnrcG6coWd
185Please respect copyright.PENANAWja0coXYvL
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.185Please respect copyright.PENANAjZH3EzGorf
185Please respect copyright.PENANARv2d5JZsJJ
"We lie as usual," I answered.185Please respect copyright.PENANADDDforwxTX
185Please respect copyright.PENANAreGvcWLORe
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."185Please respect copyright.PENANAsdHVJcPSIE
185Please respect copyright.PENANAfBgvABAoVd
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.185Please respect copyright.PENANAq8gdz8XIaZ
185Please respect copyright.PENANAYKhbEXoDrp
"Your supper is here," Collins announced as a waiter came in, dragging a trolley filled with lovely delicacies. "And you won't believe who I met downstairs. They were coming up to see you."185Please respect copyright.PENANAuNvMiwwvyJ
185Please respect copyright.PENANAbyRtNCON0h
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.185Please respect copyright.PENANAcI2JGDsYoQ
185Please respect copyright.PENANA4hg8p17obg
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.185Please respect copyright.PENANAyEZsDw6GUA
185Please respect copyright.PENANAwMkhznXJqS
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."185Please respect copyright.PENANAg8LQtrtJSN
185Please respect copyright.PENANAemY2LMKmm6
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.185Please respect copyright.PENANAhZN0XVz3yI
185Please respect copyright.PENANAaeufWQ8uId
"No, not at all," I said after we broke away from each other, and I went on to hug Jimin. Christine came behind to hug Jungkook. "Nothing could be more thrilling than having you guys over."185Please respect copyright.PENANATRkU2ilPth
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxbZJsmoE0z
"Hey, you two!" Mike greeted them as he came to join us. "Nice to see you again. Why didn't you all come, the seven of you?"185Please respect copyright.PENANA1dM5Ot8p0W
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxjWkhbJqdu
"Oh, uh, the others are kind of busy," Jimin answered with a smile on his face. "We thought it would be fun to stop by and say hi."185Please respect copyright.PENANAl6FbnCvsUR
185Please respect copyright.PENANAvHDH1tjXXX
"Or we can go out for the night," I suggested. "We have had a long day, so we thought it would be best to relax by going somewhere. Would you like to come along?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAX3oDkXKjeB
185Please respect copyright.PENANAPGAot9c6Mo
I could feel Lee and the others eyes on me. I knew what they were thinking. Going out with Jimin and Jungkook might ruin our chance of finding Zoey ourselves. But there's another benefit to all this, and I'm not going to let that slip. With Jimin and Jungkook, who know Seoul very well, finding the place will be a piece of cake.185Please respect copyright.PENANANeTbdGWk5q
185Please respect copyright.PENANAXYnOdIlTOi
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."185Please respect copyright.PENANA4PqXVlK1FG
185Please respect copyright.PENANA6zYuylsOLZ
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAdQgYEMgzJ4
185Please respect copyright.PENANAZW3R3YJWre
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."185Please respect copyright.PENANAgYDHS8AyXD
185Please respect copyright.PENANAuBLos3WWxX
"Oh, the kind that leaves her in the shower forever," said Collins. "Make sure to come back before midnight. You still need to rest for tomorrow."185Please respect copyright.PENANAyCHSz3WO88
185Please respect copyright.PENANAuanbdiYHju
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.185Please respect copyright.PENANAjKdOyafopm
185Please respect copyright.PENANAjT6ec7Kve2
"Good, I don't want you guys having too much fun. I already had supper, so if you need me, I'll be in my room."185Please respect copyright.PENANAE7RCiXopIb
185Please respect copyright.PENANA7gxrX22qKm
This is perfect. With Collins out of the way, getting out of here without Zoey won't be an issue. Now we have to tell Jimin and Jungkook. We can't find Zoey without them.185Please respect copyright.PENANAdqq0oKM6zA
185Please respect copyright.PENANAVGTyo9qWDX
Collins went to his room, and the rest of us went on to eat supper, offering Jimin and Jungkook to join us, which they did. While we ate and chatted joyfully around the table, I kept thinking about how to tell the two without causing much alarm.185Please respect copyright.PENANAiowB3RYIG7
185Please respect copyright.PENANAwun4wFm0TJ
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."185Please respect copyright.PENANAeoN37opopL
185Please respect copyright.PENANArHqWyxIjjP
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."185Please respect copyright.PENANAOhZY7osOtd
185Please respect copyright.PENANAkaVAOKj7kb
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.185Please respect copyright.PENANA6fL2xyaksb
185Please respect copyright.PENANA5NRYMHue4B
"Are you saying you lied to Collins?" Jimin asked as he kept his voice down. It looked like he knew perfectly well the intensity of the situation.185Please respect copyright.PENANAMCwG6PUnWq
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxVOdfLzUvK
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."185Please respect copyright.PENANAXOvP64fP2u
185Please respect copyright.PENANAmE3Sg84d2g
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."185Please respect copyright.PENANAoX1viNFD9h
185Please respect copyright.PENANALuCVcFvJMx
"Yeah." I scratched the back of my head as I continued to laugh nervously. "We didn't want to use you like this, but since you know Seoul so well, you might help us out without Collins knowing."185Please respect copyright.PENANA08C09u822S
185Please respect copyright.PENANAfAnRRIB8ND
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."185Please respect copyright.PENANA3dQLt3QvyC
185Please respect copyright.PENANAtHfUfZt9bR
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.185Please respect copyright.PENANAZaDm6E7Wpv
185Please respect copyright.PENANAEE3bp9QMTP
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.185Please respect copyright.PENANARPlV38rJjn
185Please respect copyright.PENANA4DIUbdMP2Q
"She's angry," Mike answered. "But at someone, and she's out looking for him. We'll explain in more detail once we hit the road."185Please respect copyright.PENANAY0tiEKUG3y
185Please respect copyright.PENANA4UpdPrMIeP
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."185Please respect copyright.PENANAJerlsCSyB1
185Please respect copyright.PENANAwUaekOlzNL
As soon as we were done with our supper, the rest of us Toxins went to quickly prepare ourselves to go out. I checked on the little black kitten and found it wide awake. I made sure to leave it some milk and closed the door so that it wouldn't wander off. Before we left, Christine and I went to Collins' room to tell him that we were leaving. We found him working on his laptop while he sat on his bed. He gave us a glance and waved to us, telling us that we should be careful out there. We told him we would and closed the door.185Please respect copyright.PENANAwCqsvqU9oD
185Please respect copyright.PENANAatQgpEgdNw
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.185Please respect copyright.PENANAzpOANSmfuL
185Please respect copyright.PENANAfUzyh9KARi
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.185Please respect copyright.PENANA2bCDcnct6d
185Please respect copyright.PENANAYGGalLMfV5
Christine, who had her phone in her hand, showed him Johnny's photo on his Instagram feed. "Here," she said. "She probably saw this and thought of going there to find him."185Please respect copyright.PENANA44Ws5JRuxm
185Please respect copyright.PENANANPkDiDR5Ny
"Wow, the guy was really clear about his location," said Jungkook, who also took a look at the photo. "But we know the place. The problem is, there will probably be a lot of people there, and they will spot us the minute we get there."185Please respect copyright.PENANA4i5gMl7Igd
185Please respect copyright.PENANAH1QBvGfNWB
"Great," said Mike. The elevator now came to a stop, and the doors flew open. We all walked out into the lobby. "Do we have to wear masks or what?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAdKQd2VFf7F
185Please respect copyright.PENANA4XYhzYmfW6
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.185Please respect copyright.PENANATSRXMVszF9
185Please respect copyright.PENANAmMXEDSbfQC
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.185Please respect copyright.PENANAOmVIi67cB9
185Please respect copyright.PENANAudM90qHmGM
"Not a mask that covers your whole face," said Lee. "He means the surgical face masks. If they don't want their admirers to recognise them, many Korean celebrities choose to move around like that. But some with very distinctive features might not always get away with it."185Please respect copyright.PENANAIpc72ctZeU
185Please respect copyright.PENANAuBQMQ7KCuL
"And these two just happen to be with one of them," I said as we stopped in the middle of the lobby, looking at Jimin and Jungkook.185Please respect copyright.PENANA4gOGv2a2F7
185Please respect copyright.PENANA8kA44BoMi5
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.185Please respect copyright.PENANAvDQC2R5Eo0
185Please respect copyright.PENANA9TApANtu37
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.185Please respect copyright.PENANAhSf8ATr0wG
185Please respect copyright.PENANA3zBpweAYEt
"I agree," said Christine.185Please respect copyright.PENANA1OH41RDFjT
185Please respect copyright.PENANAH9TV7WspGA
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."185Please respect copyright.PENANA7ipOD2rAsN
185Please respect copyright.PENANAMBvCdpc8Kq
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."185Please respect copyright.PENANA9iHe6zHoAq
185Please respect copyright.PENANAaWgnlhn2Ey
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."185Please respect copyright.PENANAKYV9zffmYp
185Please respect copyright.PENANAkz882M1DgS
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."185Please respect copyright.PENANAcDtL0MSk1j
185Please respect copyright.PENANAqHNQfuJKKq
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."185Please respect copyright.PENANABY7P8p3LS7
185Please respect copyright.PENANAPMqzcQujfu
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."185Please respect copyright.PENANA6mlrXSVjas
185Please respect copyright.PENANAb8WFoBDdZv
Without wasting any time, we all made our way out of the hotel, with the car waiting for us on the driveway. When we got in, Jungkook told the driver exactly where to go.185Please respect copyright.PENANAO4ZTnt8n2X

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.185Please respect copyright.PENANAt28WM7DJuz
185Please respect copyright.PENANATODrHSOhD8
"I told you not to come with me," said Zoey as she also looked around. Unlike Mino, she had a hoodie over her head and sunglasses on that hid her face. If people noticed Mino, no doubt they would also be able to pinpoint her.185Please respect copyright.PENANAh7k7IF8bag
185Please respect copyright.PENANAZTcfSdJnTt
"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.185Please respect copyright.PENANA4X5pfOo74U
185Please respect copyright.PENANAraDHLpxKsP
"Please do," said Zoey as she looked around. There were so many people, but so far, no one recognized them. "The last thing I need is a whole mob of fans chasing me down."185Please respect copyright.PENANA6NxKesB0Au
185Please respect copyright.PENANAZUxSoR0dx7
With so many stores around, it wasn't difficult for Mino to find a mask and sunglasses. Lucky enough, the man he bought them from didn't seem to recognize them, which was even better.185Please respect copyright.PENANA7tUnGBGVxj
185Please respect copyright.PENANAUTFTCytPIQ
"Are you ready?" Mino asked after he wore the mask and the glasses.185Please respect copyright.PENANA2BwUB5Xlfz
185Please respect copyright.PENANAs7YuS4WSYJ
She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.185Please respect copyright.PENANALAZxqLIKWp
185Please respect copyright.PENANA3an7yevcYa
Zoey couldn't help but look in awe as there were many stores, open bars, and restaurants. Not to mention the brightly coloured signs that were quite attractive to the human eye. There were many people buying things, some having a good meal at a restaurant, and others in the bar they had just passed that had a live band performing. So much was going on that Zoey couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by what she saw.185Please respect copyright.PENANApfe0D2t77o
185Please respect copyright.PENANAGBRxuYF8HR
"Wow, this place is so lively," she said to Mino beside her. "I don't think I've ever seen so many people in one place."185Please respect copyright.PENANAA2rfFnaNH8
185Please respect copyright.PENANA0L8T3TLOOp
"I'm surprised you haven't come here yet," said Mino, raising his eyebrows behind his glasses. "If you are a night owl, this is the perfect place to be in Seoul."185Please respect copyright.PENANALlB579L9j4
185Please respect copyright.PENANAjXTCt7S7gQ
Mino went on to explain how the street got its name from Hongik University, which happens to be an Arts college just near there. The art prowess of the school is how the street came to be showcasing all kinds of arts, from street music performers to dancers, as well as urban arts and underground club culture. Not to mention the graffiti murals painted all around the streets, which Zoey couldn't help but notice were quite fascinating. There were also many clothing and vintage stores.185Please respect copyright.PENANAKXSKaULd7q

"This place really is something," said Zoey as she noticed a performer with a guitar in front of a store. He gathered quite a crowd who listened to his beautiful singing.185Please respect copyright.PENANAJGGPXFlH14

"It's good I came with you then," said Mino. "There is so much here that you can easily get lost. And the club Johnny will be going to happens to be really popular."185Please respect copyright.PENANAVqyewwKug4
185Please respect copyright.PENANAc4BKe8xT7f
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAkcaHkmreLA
185Please respect copyright.PENANAyPSryhl1UE
Mino chuckled at how gullible she was. "That's the thing, Zoey. There are so many clubs here, no one can tell which is the best even if you were to ask."185Please respect copyright.PENANAM3zUOmy5p4
185Please respect copyright.PENANAoPWirpWlM4
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."185Please respect copyright.PENANAecglOIfho1

"While we are at it, we can check things out too."185Please respect copyright.PENANAQUqEV7JqZb

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."185Please respect copyright.PENANA5OcRuy5ahw
185Please respect copyright.PENANA6eVE6usqNw
"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."185Please respect copyright.PENANA0gIimSeaVD
185Please respect copyright.PENANAbHmH6mDJ2s
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.185Please respect copyright.PENANAhMxgcVv1Bw
185Please respect copyright.PENANAkYYiLR9xno
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."185Please respect copyright.PENANAJHXz7lbidS
185Please respect copyright.PENANA31D7R1tdmF
Zoey stopped walking and folded her arms, looking at Mino. Mino stopped to look at her. "What's with you guys and meat anyway?" she asked.185Please respect copyright.PENANAUWcvgvNaZn
185Please respect copyright.PENANA0V1Pf7badW
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.185Please respect copyright.PENANAyPpLgTQNdN
185Please respect copyright.PENANAgifqJri5H7
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."185Please respect copyright.PENANAutOV3qV16a
185Please respect copyright.PENANAZipHnqmOPs
Mino smiled. "Now that's what I'm talking about." He quickly took Zoey's hand and dragged her along with him to God knows where.185Please respect copyright.PENANA2zOHMT9bkH

Lee entered the car from the front and started to hand out the sunglasses she had just bought from a store. We were apparently close to the Hongdae neighbourhood. Not only that, we had no idea that the place was also close to YG Entertainment. We decided to put on our masks from afar so as not to attract attention. Jimin and Jungkook had already warned us that Hongdae is a very popular place and usually crowded at night, so it will be best not to be seen wearing them.185Please respect copyright.PENANA89tMiiKTHD
185Please respect copyright.PENANAe9fXHbULYT
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.185Please respect copyright.PENANAeNowGBq5jt
185Please respect copyright.PENANAZDxutoisKJ
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."185Please respect copyright.PENANAkdpcUzhOTL
185Please respect copyright.PENANAuC65T3iXB5
"The scarves will do great," I said, as I passed over a black scarf to Daniel, who sat in the back seat. He took it and wrapped it around his neck, partly covering his face as he already had a black surgical mask and glasses on.185Please respect copyright.PENANA6C704v1x3W
185Please respect copyright.PENANADwp2fVn4vO
"How do I look?" he asked me.185Please respect copyright.PENANA7LftPFp4nM
185Please respect copyright.PENANAdygaAouEJn
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."185Please respect copyright.PENANA8rOF35CyeY
185Please respect copyright.PENANA4DtZH6hbSo
Jimin, who sat next to me, had his hoodie over his head and a black face mask on. He decided to put on the dark glasses, and he turned to look at me.185Please respect copyright.PENANANSJVVCVt8F
185Please respect copyright.PENANAGhSnzI8h9k
"What about me?" Jimin asked.185Please respect copyright.PENANAmakaHqsibO
185Please respect copyright.PENANAmihHvbRmUE
"Perfect incognito," I said. With the large hoodie over his head, you couldn't even recognize him. I also have a hoodie, and I started to wonder if it would be able to hide my face.185Please respect copyright.PENANAVGsIGjbJIA
185Please respect copyright.PENANALgvpXcRz8v
I put the face mask on and the hoodie over my head. "Do I need to wear glasses or put on a scarf?" I asked Jimin.185Please respect copyright.PENANA8obpyHptw5
185Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5JKLmMdwa
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."185Please respect copyright.PENANA8Sohw07AJ6
185Please respect copyright.PENANAEiRbtWOWW5
Lee put on a scarf around her head and wore sunglasses. If you didn't know her very well, you wouldn't even recognize her.185Please respect copyright.PENANACCkJUb2Wbb

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."185Please respect copyright.PENANAg6IejQjsTI
185Please respect copyright.PENANAGh4HRrzGv6
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"185Please respect copyright.PENANAymoMNh4XPR
185Please respect copyright.PENANAEcuUp35OTv
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed185Please respect copyright.PENANArhuFCG4PqT
185Please respect copyright.PENANAU1og9oCdtP
Everyone turned to look at him, and Jungkook, who sat next to him, said, "You honestly look fine to me." Jungkook had on a mask, glasses and a hoodie over his head.185Please respect copyright.PENANArlf7bIdxCG
185Please respect copyright.PENANA4fK4hANMeI
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.185Please respect copyright.PENANAEywmwpqrMU
185Please respect copyright.PENANAWEapHr2zFo
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.185Please respect copyright.PENANAwhAEEkef2Q
185Please respect copyright.PENANAysdxGmrUUQ
"Okay, it looks like we are all ready to go," I said, trying my best not to laugh at Mike's joke. "I think it will be best if the driver drops us off close to the street."185Please respect copyright.PENANAeRjUaUtiOa
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxa5kw7piCp
Everyone agreed, and the driver took us a little closer to Hongdae, parking across the street. It didn't take a minute to realize that it's such a busy and popular place, as I saw all kinds of people in different age groups walk around casually, visiting some of the stores we happened to see first on the street. Jimin and Jungkook weren't joking about this place. We'd all need to keep our eyes peeled if we were going to find Zoey in this crowd.185Please respect copyright.PENANAMcPGKBhzrT
185Please respect copyright.PENANAlNKiZavG6v
"Goodness," said Lee as she looked out the window. "If we weren't out looking for Zoey, this would've been the perfect time to chill and do some shopping. I've seen some lovely dresses in that store."185Please respect copyright.PENANAaKzaKuNksS
185Please respect copyright.PENANAL0SFcZnN73
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.185Please respect copyright.PENANA3nB0goAsfi
185Please respect copyright.PENANAuc1G0185uZ
"Let's not get too distracted," I said, knowing fully well how they felt. "If we find Zoey before she meets Johnny, we can do whatever we want. Providing that we have to keep an eye on her."185Please respect copyright.PENANAHzKvakFunm
185Please respect copyright.PENANANwD0QF62L2
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.185Please respect copyright.PENANA3tZyGB1JvB
185Please respect copyright.PENANAobOpIDeq13
Christine opened the door to the passenger side and got out first, followed by Jimin and me. I wasn't only greeted by the cold night air, but there was also a certain vibing aura about the place. Something tells me that this vibrant place is the place to be when you want to have fun or a late night out.185Please respect copyright.PENANAZEyzBR9cwX
185Please respect copyright.PENANABQp9ceatNV
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.185Please respect copyright.PENANALeLQvzObtJ
185Please respect copyright.PENANAtrAlua0y7x
Gosh, I wish we were only here to have a good time. But I had to keep my mind focused on finding Zoey. I hope the others can tone down their enthusiasm until we find her. That's if she hasn't caused any trouble yet.185Please respect copyright.PENANAY2D6YrXhZq
185Please respect copyright.PENANAK8vKu1F4pq
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.185Please respect copyright.PENANAjz3uOJJDd8
185Please respect copyright.PENANAxJScQQilUG
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
